Community Engagement
Community engagement describes the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their communities (local, regional/state, global) for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity. (Adapted from the Carnegie Foundation and cited in the Glossary of Terms for GVSU’s Strategic Plan 2016 – 2021.)

Diversity Initiatives Update

Making Waves
Making Waves about Water is a University initiative to create collaboration across campus among students, faculty, and staff, as well as to with the community. The goal of the Initiative  is to explore and investigate the many ways that water touches our lives, from being a life-force to defining GVSU in relation to the Grand River and Lake Michigan. The Initiative has the potential to clearly define GVSU: a liberal arts institution where we  integrate theory with practice to prepare students for the challenges of our world.

Momentum Fund
